Very nice shots....I hope to one day make the move into taking senior portraits for money as well. Just a little critique for ya: I really like her facial expression in 8 but the pose seems somewhat awkward and distracting to me and in 5 maybe just a tad bit more lighting on her body would give that pic alot more emphasis. Overall though I thought these were really good. Nice job!

I will note that in general they seem slightly softly focused, all appear to have a yellow/orange cast, and several need to be levelled/straightened.

I think my sigma 24-60 2.8 is having some slight focus issues. Its extremely sharp when it focuses, but i think its front focusing a bit.
The photos are exactly how they looked. it was a pretty bright day, with some harsh sun.
Which one needs to be straightened? I straightened most of them in pp.
Thanks for the help on these.
Overall as a customer, paying a lot less than most local photographers, would you be pleased?

2, 3 and 8 all have major horiztonal or vertical elements which aren't horizontal or vertical. Remember to always look at your subject, and make sure they're not slouching or leaning in a way that will look "wrong" in the final image.

The bold statement concerns me. Regardless of how much a customer is paying, they are paying. Part of what they're paying for is your expertise. Why would you shoot in harsh sunlight?
